Four New Taxoids from the Barks of Taxus yunnanensis

The ongoing study of our previous work1-4 led to the isolation of four new taxoids from the barks of Taxus yunnanensis. One of them belonged to a paclitaxel analogue named 7-xylosyl-taxol D, the others were 11(15?1)-abeotaxoids with an opened D-ring system, named taxuyunnanines P-R respectively. Their structures were determined by means of spectral method s including 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy.7-Xylosyl-taxol D (1), white powder, has a molecular formula, C49H61NO18, from its positive HR…

Two new sesquiterpene lactones named amberbins A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Amberboa ramosa, together with jaseocidine (3), crysoeriol (4) and 3beta,8alpha-dihydroxy-11alpha-methyl-1alphaH,5alphaH,6betaH, 7alphaH,11betaH-guai-10(14), 4(15)-dien-6,12-olide (5). The structures of the isolated compounds have been elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data.     

Compounds from Lagotis yunnanensis

The genus Lagotis (Scrophulariaceae) is represented with 17 species in China, mostly growing in the south western part of the country on mountains of 3000 meters above sea level or higher. [1] Several species such as L.glauca, L. integra, L. brachystachya, and L. yunnanensis are used in Tibetan folkloric medicine for the treatment of fever, high blood pressure, and acute and chronic hepatitis. [2,3] As part of our studies of medicinal plants growing on the Yunnan-Tibet Plateau, L. yunnanensis W. W. Smith has been examined. To the best of our knowledge, no scientific study on this plant has hitherto been reported.     

Stereochemistry of guaianolides ofFerula oopoda

The stereochemistries of badkhyzin, isobadkhyzin, ferulidin, and ferulin, guaianolides fromFerula oopoda (Boiss. et Buhse) Boiss. have been established. The stereochemistries of badkhyzin and of 8-hydroxyachillin (at C-5, C-6, C-7, C-8, C-11) are identical. When the lactone ring is opened with alkalis, badkhyzin isomerizes only at the C-6 center. V.

Three New Terpenoids from Pinus yunnanensis

A new abietatrienoid, 15‐methoxydidehydroabietic acid ( 1 ), a new ring B‐seco abietatrienoid, 10‐hydroxy‐9,10‐secoabieta‐8,11,13‐trien‐18‐oic acid ( 2 ), and a new tetracyclic triterpenoid, pinusyunnanol ( 3 ), together with five known compounds, were obtained from the twigs and needles of Pinus yunnanensis. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses.     

Two new cyclopeptides from stellaria yunnanensis

In the previous papers, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new cyclopeptides, namely stellarin A, B and C, from the fresh roots of stellaria yunnanensis Franch. In a continued study on this plant, other two new cyclopeptides named stellarin D(1) and E(2) were obtained and their structures were established to be cyclo (Gly-Tyr-Leu-Phe-Pro-Ile-Pro)(1), cyclo(Gly-Ile-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Ala-Ala)(2), respectively.

Alkaloids from stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis

Six indole alkaloids were isolated from the stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis. Among them, yunnanensine (I) is new. The other five are known alkaloids, namely: 19,20-E-vallesamine (II), 19s-heyneanine (HI), ibogaine (IV), ibogamine (V), coronaridine (VI). The structural elucidation of the alkaloids was based on spectral means.
